Clothing Fibers The Naturals

Cotton

Source of Cotton The cotton plant –Fibers are formed in the seed pods as the plant ripens

Characteristics of Cotton Strong Durable Absorbs moisture Supports mildew growth Does not spring back into shape

Cotton is used in: Blouses Dresses Skirts Underwear Socks Sportswear Housecoats Shirts Jeans

How Cotton Affects Clothing Characteristics An all-cotton garment will: Be comfortable in warm weather Wrinkle easily Wash easily Need ironing at high temperature Be durable Withstand wear Burn readily Mildew if stored damp or in a damp place

Linen

Source of Linen The Flax plant –Fibers are formed in the stalk of the flax plant.

Characteristics of Linen Strong Durable Supports mildew growth Absorbs moisture

Linen is Used in: Blouses Dresses Skirts Suits Table linens Household linens

How Linen Affects Clothing Characteristics An all-linen garment will: Be comfortable in warm weather Wrinkle easily Wash easily Need to be ironed at high temperature Be very durable Withstand wear Burn readily Mildew if stored damp or in a damp place

Ramie

Sources of Ramie The ramie plant –AKA: Chinese grass

Characteristics of Ramie High luster Unusual resistance to molds & bacteria Extremely absorbent Dries quickly One of the strongest natural fibers Stronger when wet Durable Wrinkles easily Often blended (typically: 55% ramie/45% cotton) Similar to linen (often mistaken for linen)

Ramie is used in: Sweaters Shirts Shorts Tablecloths, napkins Handkerchiefs Fishing nets Canvas Sewing threads Fire hoses

How Ramie affects clothing characteristics Keeps it shape and does not shrink Can be laundered or dry cleaned Smooth lustrous appearance improves with washing

Wool

Sources of Wool Sheep –The hair/fur of a sheep

Characteristics of wool Warm Durable Returns to original shape quickly Absorbs moisture

Wool is used in: Knit garments Sweaters Gloves Skirts Coats Sportswear Socks Suits Slacks

How Wool affects Clothing Characteristics An all-wool garment will: Be warmer than cotton, linen, or silk Resist wrinkling Absorb odors Be durable Withstand wear Need protection against insects (moths) Need careful handling if washed Need to be pressed at low temperature

Silk

Sources of Silk Silkworm - The cocoons of the silkworms

Characteristics of Silk Smooth Lustrous Strong

Silk is used in: Skirts Blouses Dresses Neckties Scarves

How Silk affects clothing characteristics An all-silk garment will: Feel luxurious Need ironing at low temperatures Show water spots Need to be dry cleaned, unless carefully handled in washing
